THE IateligeReer has at last found out
that il is the duty of the extra session Of
the Legislature to try to elect United
States Senator. The miscarriage Of its
prophecy concerning that ''going to go"
article has made it very chary about say
ing anything further on the subject till 1t
sees exactly how it is going to turn out.
1t couldn't go amiss in saying that the
Legislature should try to elect, as that
body will without doubt try to
perform that duty. Nor could
it 20 wrong in throwing over
board DAWSON, WHITE, HOEE and
Others of that class who have been adyO-
eating that the Republicans vote against
going into joint assembly, thus prevent
ing an election and leaving the State but
one representative in the United States
Senate for the next two years. We are
glad that the HIteHigcReer sees that this Is
dangerous ground for it to stand upon and
has stepped back before it brought upon
itself even condemnation Of the best ele-
ments of its own party. The hteliigncsi's
editorial will do il good, though 1t does
come late and rs u necessity.

A Stop In the Evolution of Modern Rail-
road Buildings.
Eversinee the beginning OF the railroad
era certain persons, aSsumedly of the poetic
temperament, have seen fit to speak of the
steel highways Of the times rs vulgar
money making machines, productive Of all
sorts of evil, and above everything else de
struetive of sentiment and the love Of the
picturesque. But these people are wrong
A long, level embankment through u dat
country may not be beautiful, but what,
that is prettier, could be put in its place?
And what adds more to the grace of a
broken landscape than the sweep of the
iron road along the mountain side and
across the valley over handsome arches?
And where can one find more beautiful
buildings than the passenger stations that
are being erected by some of the great rail
road lines? Take for instance the hand
some station of the New York Central and
Hudson River line at One Hundred and
Thirty-eighth street Mott Haven't, New
York, which is illustrated. As the hand
soonest way station in America, it is I'M
doubtedly a link in the evolution Of beau
tiful railway architecture.

and Ohio, says oEthe through freight rates
that they are about the same under che
new classification as in the old. The local
tariffs have been advanced in some in
stances and lowered in others In Ohio,
for instance, the locals have generally been
advanced, because they were too low to fit
the law. But upon the whole there is not
radical change in rates, but only in the
manner of doing the business. His com.
pany has given notice that after April 8
rates to all local stations on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, Baltimore to Wheeling,
Pittsburg and HarriSonburg, WILDE the
same as to Wheeling, and rates to all
local stations between Grafton and Park
errburg will he the same as to Parkers-
burg Wheeling, Parkersburg and Pitts
burg being Ohio river points, and there
fore open to water competition for freights,
have always been claSsed together by ship
pers and the railroad company. The new
Wheeling rates on the six classes Of the
trunk-llne classification are: First, 10
cents; second, 80 cents; third, 80 cents;
fourth, 81 cents; fifth, Is cents; sixth, is
cents. A year ago the rates TO some inter
mediate stations were nearly twice as high
as the figures now given"
The coal rates for the Wheeling and
Pittsburg and the Pittsburg division ofthe
B. & o. are arranged on the mileage sys-
TEN and show slight decrease on old rates
all around, those on long hauls being de-
creased more than short hauls. The
minimum is 80 cents ton for thirty miles
and under, 30 to 40 miles 35 cents, 40 to
80 miles 40 cents and so on, 20 to 100
miles being 70 cents, 125 to $50 miles 81,
and 200 to 225 miles $l.40.
1t will be seen that the law will be OF
great advantage to West Virginia shippers.
West Virginia is not now placed farther
west than States several hundred miles
west of the Ohio river. The great objec-
ton is coming from the far West that will
now have to pay rates somewhat in pro-
portion to the East. Some Of the Pacific
roads are trying to make the law as OBJ
iechOnable as possible. On wool, for eN-
ample, it is said that the new rate per 100
pounds is IS. 40 cents, as against 623 cents
formerly. But the Commissioners may
have something to say about the justice OF
this. All through rates west of the Missis-
sippi are greatly advanced. Goods that
formerly cost but sixty cents to ship from
Los Angeles, Cal, to Wheeling, will now
cost about 81. Shippers on the Pacific
slope say it will now be cheaper to send
goods round by Cape Horn.
Hereafter theatrical companies, base ball
clubs and organizations that 90 ION the
road must pay full rates of fare. Nor
can they be given concessions in the matter
of baggage over other travellers. This is
causing good many theatrical companies
to disband for the present. Some roads
are good deal more Jealous in carrying
ont Objectionable parts they have discoy-
cred in the law, than they are the portions
that would be really q benefit to the peO-
pie. But these roads will be brought TO
time by and by, and great benefit will re-
suit to the people in general.

PROHIBITION IN MICHIGAN.

This is the Prohibition amendment that
has been voted on in Michigan:
SEC. 49,. The manufacture, gift or sale Of
spirituOus. malt or yinOuS liquors in this
State, except for medicinal, mechanical,
chemical or scientific purposes, IS prohibit
ed; and 40 property right in such spiritu-
Gus, malt or yinOus liquors shall be deemed
to exist, except the right to manufacture
OF sell for medicinal, mechanical, chemical
or scientific purposes under such restrlc-
tiOnS and regulations as may be provided
by law. The Legislature shall enact laws
with suitable penalties tor the SUPPRESSION
of the manufacture, sale and keeping for
sale or gift of intoxicating liquors, except
as herein specified.
The contest in Michigan has been one OF
the most exciting that has occurred for
Years. The alliance tibet has for several
wears existed between the GreenbackerS
and Democrats WAS dissolved ut the begin
MING oi the campaign, each party putting
ticket in the field. This gave the Re
publicanS a walkOyer, 80 far as the
offices were concerned. But
the great and bitter fight was on the
amendment, and party lines were cast
aside in regard to it. Michigan's pres
cut constitution was adopted in 1850.
A clause was inserted then prohibiting the
Legislature from licensing the liquor traffic.
But. Us in Ohio, the Legislature tailed to
regulate the traffic, and in 1876 the people
OF Michigan declared that the clause was a
hindrance and adopted sensational
amendment striking out this clause. The
clause inserted by the late amendment
il Il much more precise and definite
one than that which was repealed in 1876.

Some Of the Last Public Opinions OF
Great Man.

Ns.V York Correspondence Cleveland Leady.
One has most excellent opportunity to
study imam" as represented by the ave
rage New Workers. Among the wealthy
classes, very many of them have the Waxy
skin, dropsical flesh, and pulled eyes
that are indicative of serious kidney alice
ton. "Bright's disease" is plainly writ
ten on their faces. Since General Logan's
death the subject of rheumatism Is being
discussed by the medical profession,
Every intelligent person, with any
knowledge of the human system, IS well
aware that if the kidneys are IN good con-
dition all unnecessary material is regularly
carried off by them. If not, various acids,
such as uric acid, one of the chief causes of
rheumatism, are left in excess, creating
deposits that cause all sorts OF chronic Or
ganic diseases. 1t would seem, therefore,
that rheumatism, like dropsy, is not dis
ease, but the result of disease, and 1t IS
safe to say that if the stomach and kid
news are kept in healthful condition there
will be no deaths from rheumatism.
General Logan was we'll aware that his
disease was of the kidneys, and once ex-
pressed himselfin indignant terms at the
folly of doctors treating him for rheuma-
tisrn. when it was the kidneys that caused
his attacks. The high living and the ek'
cesses in all things, prevalent among
wealthy men in large cities, especially IN
New York, is the chief cause for Bright's
disease, and the aristOcratic trouble known
as rheumatism, even as insufficient and
improper food bring about the same results
among the very poor.

The above article, which we reproduce
because Of its general interest, is very sig
nifcant. The public believes that rheu-
matism is an effect of diseased blood, this
disease being caused by uric acid or kid
ney poison. Enough of this is developed
daily to kill several men, and if it Is not
removed by the kidneys rs fast "a formed,
it gradually ruins the health.
This fact is scientific demonstration.
If doctors do not admit it, it is probably
because they do not wish to attract atten-
ton to the menace deranged kidneys offers
to the general health, since they have no
authorized specific for these organs.
General Logan knew what his real trou-
bic was, and he recognized the nonsense
of treating the eifects-the real seat of the
disease was the kidneys. Senator Sittig,
of Illinois, whose vote elected Logan sena-
tor after fOnr months of ballOting, tells US
that Logan often complained 10 him Of
great distress in his kidneys. Disease Of
the kidneys always produces rheumatiSrr,
and besides that, it canSed paralysis,
apoplexy, Impotency, stomach and blood
ClSOluCIS, bitill
and countless other disorders which would
never develop if the blood were kept free
from uric acid or kidney poison.
These facts the public recognizes even
though medical gentlemen for very evident
seasons, will not publicly acknowledge
them, lest, perchance, some proprietary
medicine, like Warmers safe cure, which
is sold by all dealers and is now admitted
to be the only scientific specific, will get
the benefit.
Fie on such bIgotry! 1t has been author
itatively stated time and again that there
can he no real sound health if there is any
false action Of the kidneys. Insurance
companies refuse millions of risks on this
ground alone, hence it is that there is such
universal popularity given to the great
preparation named-a popularity that is
based upon intrinsic merit.
Too much dependence upon professional
advice, especially in matters over which
medical men admit they have no power, too
often results very disastrously, but of what
Use to the victim is experience gained by
fatal disaster!
How much better it is to he guided by
an unpreiudiced public opinion in such
matters.
Had Logan been so guided, he might
have been spared many years.

1t may interest the curious in such
matters to note how closely the in
crease in the assessed valuation of
New York real estate follows the in
crease In population. In 1870 there
were $4,000, 900 OF taxable real
estate to 942, 900 persons, or barely
$788 per head. In 1880 there were
$942, 900, 900 OF taxable real estate
to 1.2o6, 900 persons, or about $7s1
per head, while at present there Is
81, 26O, 600, 900 Of taxable real estate
to an estimated population of 1000,
900, showing also a proportion Of
$751; per head. Keeping in view the
speculative and inflated scale of valu-
alton applied to much New York city
property in 1870, and the subsequent
return to the coin basis OF currency,
the reduced proportion between popu-
lation and valuation in recent years
is not surprising. Taking everything
into account, thesubstantial uniform
